Abstract
The devices and methods described below provide for a plasticized, adhesive binary explosive formed with nitromethane (NM) plasticized with nitrocellulose (NC) as an energetic compound and using a suitable amine as the sensitizer. The addition of the sensitizer to the plasticized mixture of NM/NC causes the gel to become explosive while maintaining stability and not deflagrating.
